Overview

The Kandao Obsidian S High Speed 6K VR Camera is a professional 3D 360°, high-speed virtual reality camera system, providing exceptional flexibility with its High Frame Rate (HFR) capabilities. The Obsidian S is an ideal solution for capturing slow-motion footage in VR. Its six lenses more accurately replicate the human visual apparatus than ever before, with stereoscopic parallax. The result is a far more natural and comfortable VR experience.

Only a 3D 360° panorama video can provide a true sense of immersion, which is key to bringing a virtual reality world alive for an audience. Kandao Obsidian utilizes a deep learning-based stiching algorithm, automatically generating high quality stereoscopic panoramas with enhanced quality and speed and greatly increasing the productivity potential of your VR workflow. With Kandao Studio, creators can complete high-quality 3D panoramas with just one button, eliminating the need for complex steps that greatly speed up the post-production process.

The VR Creator can provide audiences with live broadcasting experiences in 3D 4K x 4K at 30 fps on any laptop connected to the Obsidian camera via Kandao's single powered ethernet cable. Say goodbye to the bulky and expensive HDMI capture cards and cables needed to view playback. Even the power cord is taken out of the equation, thanks to PoE (Power over Ethernet) functionality. Everything from image setting control to file transfers for previewing and live streaming is supported over this unified data connection.

The Obsidian S includes a powerful, versatile overall software solution, ranging from post-processing, editing, stitching, and video encoding to live streaming. This total solution approach supports industry-standard format and can be easily connected to your existing workflow, simplifying the learning curve for new 3D 360° video producers and liberating VR Creators from the tediousness of post-production, with an increased focus on creativity. The Kandao App enables viewers to watch ultra high-resolution 360° VR videos and stills either online or offline with little discomfort. A patented display method provides users with a wider FOV (Field of View) with no distortion.

Users benefit from remote control of the camera via a laptop, iPad, or smartphone. The VR Creator can adjust specific settings (aperture, ISO, white balance, and exposure) for optimal results, and be fully confident in every production scenario with real time preview. The Obsidian S also features 3D 360° video/photo/time-lapse recording and support, video recording in flat/standard/log mode, and DNG format for photos.

The Obsidian S features a minimalistic design for maximum convenience. Its palm-sized, lightweight form factor weighs just 2.65 lb (1.2 kg), with a metal body for enhanced durability. Take it anywhere and set up easily, whether mounted on drones, vehicles, or in handheld configurations.
